The Legend of Zelda

The Legend of Zelda mistake picture

Other mistake: The title crawl of the original NES game contains several mistakes, notably the antagonist spelled "gannon" with 2 Ns combined with awkward phrasing ("one of the triforce with power" instead of "the triforce of power"). This mistake has been corrected with a better, more fluid translation in later remakes, starting with the Collector's Edition for GameCube.

The Illustrated Man mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Carl lets his dog out of the bag, in the close-up there's a shadow on Rod Steiger's boot, and a shadow of something or someone standing between him and the camera: both are gone in the following shot, when the dog runs across the lawn (and 'knocks aside' the camera). (00:08:20)

1920 London mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The cursed necklace is shown emitting its evil fumes on the white paper of the letter, but the letter itself is perfectly 90° with the envelope, or at a different angle. (00:06:20)

Land of Mine (2015)

Land of Mine mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, the Sergeant pulls his jeep over and headbutts a prisoner who is carrying a Danish flag, seizing it. In the following shot he has his arms open and shoves away another prisoner, no flag in his hands. Next shot, he's standing by the bleeding prisoner, folded flag in hand. (00:02:25)

Revealing mistake: In the presentation for the fellow Ultimate Students, the screen scrolls showing several magazines Junko, the Ultimate Fashionista, has appeared in. In the background, one of the magazines has obvious jibberish filler text in it, since it goes, I quote: "argrwgawrg agreg agregraegraaerg asg."

Morocco (1930)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the apple-selling musical number, the painter La Bessiere asks for the singer's company after the performance. Marlene Dietrich's stole goes off her shoulder at the cut between the two consecutive shots. (00:24:20)

Kim Possible (2019)

Kim Possible mistake picture

Other mistake: In the fight at the beginning of the movie, Kim bends over and launches her jet-pack towards the villains. Almost everyone falls down way before the jet comes anywhere near and/or receive no impact, but they are KO as if they took a rocket to the gut. (00:01:40)

Those People (2015)

Continuity mistake: Charlie's mock trial: the latina maid walks up the stairs, with Sebastian saying "OhmahGod, thank you." In the foreground, London is holding her goblet with her right hand, but in the next shot she has it in her left. (00:05:15)

Continuity mistake: Ray is on the phone with his girlfriend; as he says "Whatever you say, Ashley", the green scrapbook is closed. It is open again next, just as it was open before. (00:02:00)

Expo (2019)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the girl gets assaulted from the back: you see at first exactly from the shot from behind that the backpack she is carrying escapes her arms, but in the subsequent shot she is still holding it. (00:02:10)

Gunman's Walk (1958)

Gunman's Walk mistake picture

Continuity mistake: David Hackett is talking business organizing ranch business while his brother Ed is leaning on the counter, gawking at the beautiful Clee and passing her cloth. He has his right arm up in the close-ups, but the left arm up in the wider shots. (00:04:55)

Black Sunday (1960)

Factual error: When the two scholars are in the carriage, they mention being 6-7 versts from Mirgorod, and that means that they will be probably late for the inauguration but still able to make it to the conference "in the evening", in Moscow. That is, if they don't waste time dining at the inn. A little rest seems the last of their problems: while Mirgorod (Myrhorod) is certainly closer to Moscow than Moldova, mentioned before, it's still nearly 900 kms, over 850 'versts' if you will! That's a trip they would make in a week, being optimistic, surely not in a day or overnight.

Garou: Mark of the Wolves mistake picture

Other mistake: During Terry Bogard's playthrough, a few typical SNK typos can be spotted, such as "you're master" in the victory quote against Hokutomaru, or the pre-boss fight cutscene when Grant that says "you're peak has passd."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Katie has been grounded, and like most teenagers decides to just drink up a lot of booze. She's sitting on the bedroom floor with her bestie and passes her the bottle of vodka: her friend takes it with her left hand and drinks, but in the following shot she's finishing the gulp by holding it in her right hand instead.

Burn (2012)

Continuity mistake: Sheila is clutching the phone to her chest with both hands, since Melinda is reaching for it to delete the butt-flexing video. The door chimes and the bearded man enters the store; in the foreground Sheila is in a different position with her arms crossed, and in a third one with her arms down at the next cut. And even more noticeable, a 4th different one as she walks away, holding the phone across the chest to the opposite side of her body all of a sudden. (00:07:50)

Olivia: The other day, I found myself opening a door for a man. What happened to chivalry?
Richard: You know why guys open doors for women?
Olivia: No?
Richard: So we can check out your arses as you walk by.
Olivia: Well, you're just full of all these amazing insights, aren't you?

Owen Legate: Listen, Miss Starr...I've been travelling since six o' clock this morning. Gotta get up early tomorrow and do some work. Now, if you come with the room, if you are included with the two meals, then let's get on with it. Let's not play around.
Alva Starr: What do you think I am?
Owen Legate: What do you think you are?
